The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

Navigating a beautiful yet foreboding chasm, managing resources and facing deadly creatures while uncovering a story of descent into danger.

What players say

Players say it is a faithful adaptation of Made in Abyss, but the difficulty is punishing with cheap enemy spawns and hard-to-see traps. Many recommend buying only on sale due to dated graphics, clunky controls, and a limited bag system, though fans of the series still enjoy the exploration.
